Exercising EU rights through agency work?

Hello again
My EU national wife is currently working in health care through an agency. We asked from the agency a confirmation of employment but they wrote to us that they are not employers and cant guarantee hours but they did mention however that my wife does regularly work there without specifiying. She does more than 20-25 hrs per week on average.
Is she fully exercising EU rights through employment in this case? And am wondering about the legal aspect behind not the common sense one that UKBA doesnt normally take seriously. Thanks in advance. [/list]

A worker is a person in either full-time or part-time employment. It doesn't matter if they are employed directly by the company or by agency

any work more then 12 hours per week is OK

All you need is Playslip, Contract letter ( if possible )

or Contract letter and amount in the Bank each month or week

or Contract letter

In order to be counted the working activities must be effective and genuine as well as verifiable too on inquiry.
